To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, TRACY N; SHAW, a citizen "of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cutting-Machines, of which the following is a specifica- 'isa tion.

.'The object of this invention is to construct a machine for cutting brick ice cream into individual slices for table'use.

In-the accompanying drawings, F' e 1 plan view of my improved cutting ma: chine, 2 is an end elevation in which the frame stands in a vertical position. Fig.

- v 3 is a side elevation. Fig. 4 1s a section on dotted line a a Fig. 2, in which-the frame is'in a vertical position. 'Fig. 5 is a section on dotted line a a Fig. 2, in which the frame is in a horizontal-position. 6 is a section on dotted line b b Fig. 2." g

The base comprises the side bars 1 and 2,

and center crossbar 3.- The ends of the side bars 1 and 2 are-each formed with a ting wires are in pairs, and their ends are supports 5 hasa vertical end 7.

perforated ear 4. From the center cross bar 3 rise a plurality of supports 5, each provided with a vertical back 6. One of these connected to the screws afterpassing over two of the studs. These cutting wires are so located that in the movement of the frame, they will pass between the supports 6, and cut the brick of ice cream 18 into slices for table use. When the frame supporting the cutting wires stand in the positions shown at Figs. 2, 3 and 4, the ends 19 of the side bars 8 and 9 will rest in contact with the side bars 1 and 2 of the base, thereby preventing it from falling down. The shelf 12 Wlll serve to directthe cut cream into a suitable receptacle. ecnd '7 and back 6 serve to locate the brick of ice cream on the supports 5.

I claim as my invention; In a cutting machine of the character set forth, the combination with a base having a plurality of spaced supports, said supports having upstanding backs along one side, and one of the end supports having an upstanding stop, of an 0 en frame pivoted to the base on the side 0? the supports op.- posite to that having'thebacks, spaced cutters carried by the frame and movingbetween the backs and sup orts, and ashelf fixed to and carried by the frame and disposed on the side of the same opposite to the'support having the stop, said shelf moving wlth the frame into a position in alinement with the su ports when the cutters are passed between e same.

In testimony whereof I have hereuntoset my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. r
